Instructions

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it turns golden brown and nutty, then let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth, then add eggs and mix until combined.
Gradually stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips, pastel M&M's, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs, then cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line or spray a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
Spread the chilled dough evenly in the prepared pan, optionally reserving some M&M's and chocolate chips for the top.
Bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown around the edges and set in the center, without overbaking.
Once out of the oven, gently press the halved Cadbury crème-filled mini eggs on top of the warm bars. Let cool completely before cutting.

Notes

Ensure the butter is cooled down before mixing with sugars to avoid cooking the eggs.
Chilling the dough enhances the flavors and makes it easier to handle.
Pressing the halved Cadbury eggs on top while warm allows them to stick without melting completely.
